This obedien ce Is d e manded Jn tim es or peace and In tim es ot: strlte .

In tim es or peac e, a Catho li c I$ bound to la loo r tor the wel!are o! hle coUntry.

H e Ia bound to support a ll w orthy causes. It he h olds o ftl ce he Is cornpolled to gove rn h o n es tly and eUI· c le ntl y. H e ca nnot be unjust In his legis la ti o n. He cannot a nymo re than a n y oth e r c itize n vio late th e Cons titu· li o n. Th o hurch recognizes the just authority of this d ocum e nt and hence a Catholtc mus t follow and uphold it.

In tlm ee d! war a Cath o lic c itizen has a n o bligation ot patriotism and :f ide lity to the s tate. H e 1·e his r eligio n has n e vE>r been a b a r to him and hi s t o ry weiJ t estifi es how loyally Catholics have ful· till ed this duty. At the da wn ot Arneri ca n Indepe nd e nce there were Charl es Ca rroll o r Carrollton and W il liam Pr..ca who sig ned the Declaration or Independon ee e ve n thOO g h death hovered them whil e th e y wrote.

Among those h eroes who e ntered the depths and felt the hell and shambles o f Valley Forge were many Cathollcs.

Their courage was so admirable, their patriotIsm so pure, their greatness under surterlng so compe llJn g, that George \Vashlngton wrote an dpe n le tte r thank· ln g the Cat holics tor the ir tld e llty to theh· co untry. \V h e n In the lvll W a r !o nset not M eagher, o! th e swo rd, who s a ved the Union by th at f amo u s c h a rge In which h e led his f a m o us Bt·lgade at G e t t ysburg.

The festJve trumpets have s o unded. the gala-day has started and , by the ma.g1c w a ve of educaUo n·a wand we are tra ns ported through colo rful vistas Into regione o r light supernal.

Then, as the day passes, as the shades or n ight descend. this castle whose portals open so Invi tingly today r ecedes and mixes with the night, and agaJn, we tace the rough realities ot lite and travel the un b roken marc h o f years. Yes, the road Is still before us, - long , rough o.nd lone ly. Tomorrow, a!ter passing this mUe-stone, we w1U take up the task ot life and pass from school lite to life's school. In d eed the voyage proper just begins. Hithe rto we h ave been buckling on ou r armor, n ow, we mu s t go out and fight. College days with all the1r youth!ul glee are passed, but they shall live on In mem· ory as a perpetual benedictio n t o bid us ever take heart and strive again when our faltering steps would f all us.

T o them we may apply most fittingly, that slml1 e by which o ur good teacher, Mon signor L egr is, compared lite t o a smile between two groans-the s m11e of y o uth's mirth between the groans ot p a rUng with home and loving f ol ks yesterday, and the groans o! parUng with Al ma Mater t oday.

From the "great o pen places" a round p,·alrle du Chien, Wi sconaln, and Campion College, Thomas Dillon gazed lon gi n g ly toward the broad p rairies of Dlln ols tn the vicinity of Gardner.

H a pp11y his gaze was inte rrupted by the cam pus a n d bull<llngs of St. Viato r a nd since St. VIator was o nly a f ew h o urs distan t from hi s beloved home town, Tommy forsook the nrthern s h o res of the M ississippi and matriculated at the g reatest College In the Middle W est.

Tommy immediately made his prese n ce felt, especiall y when there was a d1f!iculty to solve In Latin o r the o th e r classics. And In all class activities Tommy could be r elied upon to co· operate with his c lassmates in any a nd e very p r oject.

Alwa ys qu ie t a nd unassuming, T ommy easil y and quickly won h is way into the hearts of c lassmat es a nd faculty alike. Neve r kn owi ngl y givi ng offense to any one, Tommy leaves St. Viator with the stamp of a true gen tle· man. Wehate to see you go Tommy, but since the appointed time has come, w e needs mu st p art.

Having fini s h ed his High School studi es at Spalding Institute , P eoria, in 1922, h e came to Viator as a m emb er o! the Freshman class of '25 . Wishing to season his c lass room knowledge with practica l experien ce in the work-a-day world , h e sperit two year s, 1924 a n d 19 25 tn h onest labor.

Duri ng the two years that been in our midst, h e has won our r espect a n d fri endship.
